- No place on Earth has so many spectacular beaches as Hawaii.
- Clear blue waters wash miles and miles of soft white or black sand.
- While the beaches in the south of Hawaii are family-friendly with soft surf and are great for swimming and snorkeling, windward beaches are the places where surfing became a world-famous sport.
- In the summer, visitors can enjoy a cool swim, but in the winter, when the wind picks up and enormous, up to 30 feet high waves start pounding the shore, brave surfers come to catch the next big wave.
- Surrounded by lush vegetation and often by dark volcanic rocks, Oahu beaches are the stuff dreams are made of.
